Testimonials

Oli was very excited for his first day of daycare and he has come home beautifully brushed and exhausted – despite having spent a very relaxing day by the sound of things! From a personal point of view I love the secure set-up, the easy parking and the proximity to the railway station as well as the efficient processes around check-in/out and payments. But most of all I love the obvious attention and care he received. Looking forward to his next visit!

Doreen Shields

Such a fun and happy place. You can tell the owners are dog lovers and have their own dogkids! & the staff obviously love dogs and their job. Walkies are a must and you can see the excitement on the faces of the dogs (& the people!) as they walk past us. Talk about pampered pooches!

Rosie Davey-Hicks

Buddy loved his first session and came back home happy and tired. We even got a report and notes about how he went at doggy daycare! Thanks for taking such good care of him.

About Us

As owners of small dogs and regular users of day care over the past 10 years, we felt there was a space for a small dog only day care where the dogs can feel safe and less anxious.

If you are like us, your pets are part of your family and when you cannot be home for them because of work and other obligations, you want them to be taken care of with the same love and attention you give them.

We are strong advocates of day care for dogs, we all lead very busy lives and are often away from home from 6 to 10 hours a day, then once we get home we are tired but we are greeted by a dog that has been alone all day and is so desperate for attention and exercise.

I used to be greeted each night by an overturned rubbish bin or something equally as naughty. Then I heard about day care, oh what bliss, Caspa got to play, sleep, socialise and was warm, safe and loved. I went to work without guilt and came home to a lovely tired happy dog.
